Barf, you couldn't give me those TN panels for free. If I'm going to settle for a TN panel it better at least have Lightboost. Unfortunately the VG248QE is out of stock.

So what do you guys think, is there more a chance that they'll honor the order if it's just for 1? I put in 2 orders for 2, hope I'm not pushing my luck...

Damn hope this is true for me as well. This is like winning the lottery for me.

I only did one because obviously doing 100 will make you a target.

There's no way they are gonna honor these but hell I'll try. Hoping they maybe reimburse the customers somehow with a gift card or something because of the "inconvenience".

Just bought 10 of the Acers for 92.00 free in store pick up. No way this holds. If it does will be eBaying like a mofo.

I hope for the guy(s) who runs the website's sake that these orders dont get shipped, otherwise he/she/they might get fired. Its obviously a mistake, and a pretty big one too. The ASUS VS278Q-P cost $289.99 on Newegg.com for example, and Walmart has it for $8.85.

I bought a Philips 27" 3D monitor earlier this year on bol.com in The Netherlands for 229, which was a mistake they didn't correct for a good week (when it went up to about 450) and I figured I made an amazing deal.

But this is insane, jump on this US GAF.

You'd boycott a store for an error that loses them hundreds of thousands of dollars? It's sad for us sure but, come on.

I think they will notice soon.

That one guy would need a factory crate (multiple crates) to ship 1k+ monitors lol.

No, I wouldn't really boycott them for that... I just can't stand the thought of not getting this. I need this bit of luck right now.

Oh, sure, it will probably get noticed soon indeed. But i could see that a fair share amout could be shipped to those who ordered only one monitor. I dont know how the orders works, but maybe the guys who packs and ship the items dont really pay attention to the price. Its possible that they just check the order (which looks like any normal order) and check the item and not the price.

Did ship to store, but it looks like not even GTAV is in. Otherwise I'd hop down right now at the 24 hour one to pick em up.
